Topic: First Sale on Pond5 (Read 23422 times)

I wanted to start uploading there too and just noticed I have images there already. Does anyone knows which stocksite hast Pond5 as partner?

123RF. Contact them (Pond5), they will disable your 123RF port for you if you want to sell direct.

Thanks! I just sent an email to them. I hope it is possible to delete them gradually. I don't understand the FTP upload very well. Do you have to choose every time for a different ftp. Ftp , ftp 2, ftp3?

had anyone worked out how to apply a template to many images at once. Apply video template doesn't work (file xxx is a sound clip error). When I make a sound template it gives me 'this is not a sound clip error' Applying the template individually to files in the edit window works fine.

How are you guys managing to add 2 model releases to photos. For me it always only accepts the first release i add :/

Dantheman, that should not be happening. Could you please describe the browser's behavior or any errors you get and send it in a short e-mail to our customer service at [email protected]. We would like to resolve this. It's already a long process to tag your files, it shouldn't be more complicated than the necessary steps.

So far I have managed to apply the template one-by-one from the edit page. Takes a couple of seconds for each image, so still one of the fastest submission process in the industry. One more thing that doesn't work for a long time now, for images as well as videos, is the view count. But I'm sure you know about it.

Until recently, they were strictly a video site, and I've been selling video there for years. Now that they're selling photos, I'm uploading like there's no tomorrow. When you go to your "uploads" page, there's a "type" button just below the search field. If the type is video, that explains why you can't see your photos. Change it to photos, and voila!

Thanks a lot! do you set your price at 10 dollars? it seems to be the most popular setting?

Have you checked out their sort order for stills pictures that is? well I am a bit surprised! bit of a nightmare actually. I uploaded lots Scientific and sci-fi images, model released and everything and whatever you upload in stills seem to end up on the very last pages, before that is tons and tons of just isolations and lots of really irrelevant material.

Basically they are a video supplier but I am beginning to wonder how long experience they have in picture and sort algorithms?

I'm always interested to hear about a new agency that actually makes some sales at a fair price.

How smooth is the keyword/title/description process? If it doesn't read and accept the IPTC just about as-is, that's a non-starter for me.

Yes! so was I. heard some very good things about them so ofcourse I joined, only to find out from the community forum: the default search is all screwed up and changed in favour of new artists, the moneymaking pics are pushed aside and all in favour of giving others a chance.Must say I have never heard such drivel in all my life. Its supposed to be a business not a charity.
